Karma Balance - Improving
So, today has been blighted by Iarnrod Eireann.
Started at 1pm, sleeping off my most marvellous weekend. Note from Mum, reminding me that the respected suppliers of graduation gowns, would like me to pick up my gown today, so that they don't have to deal with me on Wednesday. No problem - I text deannawol to tell her I'll be around Maynooth at say three-ish.
Take off to catch bus to station. Realise that I've forgotten my phone. Panick! Decide to stick it out since train leaves in five minutes (time is two-twenty). Four minutes. Three minutes on the clock as I get off, just in time to see the train pull into station. Miss it.
Am assured that the next one is ten past three. Forty minutes, give or take. Mad dash home, grab phone, mock brother-the-most-sparkly (don't ask) and break personal record to make it back with five minutes to spare. To discover that "Oopsie! Wrong direction train." The train from Maynooth is coming in at ten past. The train I want doesn't leave for another fifteen minutes after that. And is five minutes late.
Make it to Maynooth and run into Estelindis. Yay! Have a chance to talk to her and all is groovy. We pick up my most Snape-like robes (aside from the odd green and blue hood) and wander around a bit together. Mooch off in a Chez-deannawol direction.
All is good and groovy. Right up until maeritrae has to go. I have to go soon anyway and an extra hour or so with her will make for a pleasant trip, riiiiight?
I have no complaints about the company which was wonderful as always. The two hours of wasted time, however....
'm gonna hide under a rock for a bit.
